Description:
An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a formyl group from N10-formyltetrahydrofolate to N1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide to yield N2-formyl-N1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide and TETRAHYDROFOLATE. It plays a role in the de novo PURINE biosynthetic pathway.

- " Human glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase (GART) (EC 2.1.2.2) is a validated target for cancer chemotherapy, but mechanistic studies of this therapeutically important enzyme are limited" 01/01/1989
- " In vivo studies with 5,10-dideaza-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid (DDATHF), an inhibitor of glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase, indicate that at doses ranging from 2.5 to 10 mg/kg, it prolongs the survival of mice implanted with L1210 tumors" 06/01/1994
- " GAR transformylase activity was higher in colon 38 tumor than in liver, but a kinetic analysis on the purified enzyme showed no differences in Ki values for DDATHF or Km values for the folate substrate" 12/14/1993
- " These data show that even for tumor cells with severely impaired antifolate transport, the extensive conversion of DDATHF to polyglutamyl forms required for GAR transformylase inhibition preserves high levels of antitumor activity." 01/01/1998
- " PURPOSE: The whole-body autoradiographic distribution of two radiolabeled antifolate inhibitors of GAR formyltransferase, lometrexol and LY309887, were compared in tumor-bearing mice maintained on standard diet (SD) and a low-folate diet (LFD) in order to determine the total amounts of drug that accumulated in blood, tumor, liver and kidney"

- " The results suggest that GAR transformylase is a target for a series of compounds whose structures resemble that of tetrahydrofolate and indicate that the inhibition of GAR transformylase by these compounds is sufficient to induce the maturation of HL-60 leukemia cells." 01/01/1993
- " 5,10-Dideazatetrahydrofolic acid (DDATHF) is an inhibitor of glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase, the first of two tetrahydrofolate requiring enzymes in the de novo purine nucleotide biosynthetic pathway, and is a potent inducer of the maturation of HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells" 01/15/2002
- " We determined the mechanisms of resistance of human CCRF-CEM leukemia cells to methotrexate (MTX) vs. those to six novel antifolates: the polyglutamatable thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitors ZD1694, multitargeted antifolate, pemetrexed, ALIMTA (MTA) and GW1843U89, the non-polyglutamatable inhibitors of TS, ZD9331, and dihydrofolate reductase, PT523, as well as DDATHF, a polyglutamatable glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase inhibitor"
